Feynn, what a weird Volvo! Dutch custom job, from the looks of it. 330 BHP? Yikes. Oh, and your DS has magically transformed into an Alfa Spider. both are pretty, though! 🙂 ---

Coldy - Since I like my models topless the Alfa could very well be added to my list. Let’s try posting a pic of a lovely[1964 DS 19 Convertible.](http://silverstone.fortunecity.com/studebaker/677/blackdscab.jpg) ---

It’s good to see someone who can appreciate a good _Deesse_, Feynn! At the risk of telling you something you already know: are you aware of the various _hors-production_ versions of the DS, many of them by Chapron? Observe this beautiful [DS Le Dandy](http://www.lesds.it/immagini_sito/cabrio/caddy.jpg), for example. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/top-5-dream-cars/116312.md?page=2)
